The Market is Open and Tammy Sue Open House!

Howdy Food Club,

Do you know what time it is?!?! It’s time to order some local food and products on the market. Yippee, skippy!

But seriously folks, we’ve got a pretty cool thing going here. When people from bigger, supposedly cooler cities find out that we can order online from over 30 local growers all year-round, they are usually pretty shocked that you can find a market of this quality in a city of this size. So be proud, tell a friend, and order some amazing local products, including…

• Brand new cheeses from the artisans at White River Creamery. The folks that brought you delicious flavors of fetas, fromage blancs, chevres, and even ricotta have hit us with the brand-spanking new garlic and chive fresh farmer’s cheese. It looks and sounds like my version of heaven on earth and I am literally counting down the days until I taste it.

• It’s the return of Armstead Mountain Farm and their magically-colored organic vegetables! Brighten up your day with a beautiful purple bell pepper, pink shunkyo radish, or snack on some color royalty with a scarlet queen turnip. And yes, they do taste even better than they look!

• ‘Tis the season for mulling some hot beverages, and luckily we’ve got Maison Terre doing the hard work of putting your mulling spices together. Order some, mix them in with some warm apple cider, tea, or wine, and cozy on up to actually try and enjoy the cold weather.

• Do you ever sit down with a tub of Geek Eats hummus and only minutes later wonder where the heck it all went? Well, you probably ate it all in a fit of flavor addiction. That’s OK, it happens to the best of us. Luckily, he’s now offering his original, carrot curry, chipotle, and rosemary & black bean hummuses (or is it hummi?) in 2-lb. helpings. So, you know, maybe it’ll make it all the way to Tuesday!

• It’s the most, dry-skinned tiiiime, of the yearrrrr. OK, maybe not the best song, but it’s a real problem that some goat’s milk lotion from Tammy Sue’s Critters could fix right up.

Speaking of Tammy Sue, she and her critters would like to invite you to the annual Christmas Open House at their farm on Saturday, November 29th from 10am-2pm. Tammy’s got a beautiful place on the outskirts of North Little Rock at 4 Cheyenne Trail, North Little Rock 72120. So come on out and meet the goats, alpaca, free-range chickens, dogs, cats, and GUARD LLAMA and even do a little holiday shopping while you’re at it!

Most Sincerely,

- Alex Handfinger
Director of Operations
